Speedy deletion nomination of If He Ain't Gonna Love You[edit]

Hello Another Believer,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged If He Ain't Gonna Love You for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Devopam (talk) 17:54, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

@Devopam: Thanks for the heads up. I know I'm not supposed to remove the banner because I created the article, but I did not add the recent content and the community has already decided that the redirect is worth keeping (see Talk:If He Ain't Gonna Love You). Therefore, I restored the redirect since deletion of the page is not necessary. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:01, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

4th Annual GA Cup - Round 1[edit]

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup
Symbol support vote.svg

Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

November 28, 2016 was supposed to mark the end of the first round. However, we needed 16 competitors to move on, and currently only 10 have completed articles. Thus, the judges have come together to let the participants decide what we shall do. Please complete this quick survey to let us know whether you would like a holiday break.

There will be two options for what we will do next in terms of Round 2 depending on the results of this poll.

  • If the survey indicates that the competitors want a break, we will have a 2nd round after the break ends with just the 10 competitors who have reviewed articles, starting in January (with a specific date TBA).
  • If the survey does not indicate that participants want a break, we will extend Round 1 until the end of December.

We apologize for sending out this newsletter late. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase!

To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

I need assistance for LGHOF review[edit]

Hey AB! I've renominated the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame with your encouragement. TRM left some comments on the review, two of them being the table and the reference. I'm not really good at table formats and unsure about how the references should work. If you have the time, could you help me out here? Erick (talk) 16:04, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Please AB, I really need the help. I can understand if you've been busy, but you haven't replied back. Erick (talk) 19:56, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
@Magiciandude: Sorry, I keep forgetting! I took care of the endashes, but I'm not exactly sure how to help re: scope/rows. I've asked TRM if he has a link providing an example of what he has in mind. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:05, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
That's understandable. Anyways, thanks again for you help! Let's get another bronze star for that Grammy task force! Face-grin.svg Erick (talk) 20:07, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News[edit]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful!

Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating!

September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words).

October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page.

Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your Watchlist.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk.
